Knee-jerk Reaction at White Knoll High School

Today's The State reports that overly-sensitive White Knoll High School in the Lexington One school district has kicked out four students over a home-made video that was created off school property and off school time.

The students recorded a video for Tik Tok about which White Knoll Principal Ted Daughtrey said, "the unacceptable and disturbing actions of these students negatively impact their school and all of our students ...” 

Lexington 1 superintendent Greg Little piled on with, “We strongly condemn the actions of these students. Racism, in any form, will not be tolerated by our students or staff and will be addressed immediately.”

Of course, no details were provided about what constituted "racism".

Have you noticed how, on some days, if you just blow your nose on the wrong color of Kleenex, you'll be accused of being a racist? 

Why do I think that the reaction in Lexington One will be a local lawyer's dream come true? How quickly will the parents of those four students "lawyer up" and sink their teeth into Lex One's checkbook?

I, for one, can't wait to hear how much they walk away with.
